ABPCO Excellence Awards 2022

The ABPCO Excellence Awards recognise and celebrate industry best practice in association and not for profit conferences/events.    They are an opportunity to showcase to your peers, and the wider industry the incredible work that is being undertaken in this sector, and the positive impact that it has.

This year we want them to be our biggest and best yet, and so are opening some of them out to the wider industry. 

The 2022 ABPCO Excellence Awards will take place on 9th December 2022 at Birmingham ICC, supported by the West Midlands Growth Company.

After a summer hosting sporting excellence at the Commonwealth Games, Birmingham will be the perfect location to celebrate excellence amongst ABPCO members and the wider association and not for profit industry.

2022 marks the ninth ABPCO Excellence Awards, which take place in different destinations across the UK each year.

This year’s awards will see an increase in categories as well as an opportunity for non-members to enter the awards for the first time.
